→Polygamy: the Book of Mormon does not teach polygamy.

It should be noted that the Polygamous teachings of the Book of Mormon are in direct contradiction of many books of the New and Old Testament, and that the Polygamy encouraged is in fact adulterous sin. It is because of this fact that Christians do not believe Mormons will enter the Kingdom of Heavan, dispite accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior, because most Mormons are products of adulterous relationships, and it is written in Deuteronomy 23:2
It should be noted that the Book of Mormon does not teach [[polygamy]]. The Book of Mormon says concerning multiple marriages:
''"Wherefore, my bretheren, hear me, and hearken to the word of the Lord: For there shall not any man among you have save it be one wife, and concubines he shall have none"'' (Jacob 2:27).
The doctrine of polygamy is not found anywhere in the Book of Mormon but is instead found in the [[Doctrine and Covenants]], chapter 132. The Doctrine and Covenants (D&C) is an additional book of revelations mostly recorded by Joseph Smith, Jr. which are also held to be Scripture by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This doctrine was repealed in 1890 by Official Declaration--1 which appears as an appendix to the Doctrine and Covenants. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has not taught polygamy since.
D&C 132 is part of the Doctrine and Covenants of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but has never been accepted as part of the Doctrine and Covenants of some other Latter-Day Saint denominations, such as the Missouri-based [[Community of Christ]], which has always rejected polygamy.
